Technical and AI consulting before you commit budget.

Independent advice from people who design and build systems every day. Make the right technology decision before you commit budget to it.

Discuss a reviewOur experience

Expensive mistakes are made at the start.

Choosing the wrong platform, supplier or architecture can cost years. So can pushing ahead with a stalled project without understanding why it stalled.

We give practical, independent advice grounded in real delivery experience across websites, ecommerce, integrations, infrastructure and AI. We will tell you what we would do in your position, including when the answer is to keep what you have.

How we can help.

Focused engagements with a clear written outcome.

  • Architecture review

    An assessment of how your systems fit together and where the risks and bottlenecks are.

  • Platform selection

    An evidence-based recommendation between buy, build and extend options.

  • Code and security audit

    A review of an existing codebase, its quality, security and maintainability.

  • Project rescue

    A clear-eyed view of a stalled project and a realistic plan to finish it.

  • AI assessment

    A short engagement ending in a written report: the tasks worth automating, the data and access each needs, a first pilot with success measures, and rough build and running costs. AI in Worthing & Sussex.

  • Supplier briefs

    Specifications and requirements that let you compare suppliers fairly.

Decisions you can explain.

We compare realistic options against the criteria that matter to you: cost to build and run, time to value, risk, flexibility and how hard it will be to change later. You get a recommendation and the reasoning behind it, in plain English.

That makes it easier to get agreement internally and to hold suppliers to a clear standard.

  • Costs and risks made explicit
  • A clear, written recommendation

Rescue without the blame game.

If a project has stalled, we review the code, the remaining requirements and the deployment, and talk to the people involved. Then we set out what is solid, what needs rework and a practical plan to reach launch.

We can carry out that plan ourselves or support your existing team to deliver it.

  • Independent code and delivery review
  • Realistic completion plan
  • Delivery by us or support for your team

What an AI assessment gives you.

Many businesses know AI could help but not where to start. An assessment looks at the work your team does, the documents and systems involved, and the cost of getting things wrong.

You receive a written report with a short list of candidate tasks, the data and access each one needs, how outputs would be checked, a recommended first pilot with measures of success, and realistic build and running costs. If AI is not the right answer for a task, the report says so and suggests what is.

  • Candidate tasks ranked by value and risk
  • Data, access and review requirements
  • A pilot plan with clear success measures

Anything else you would like to know? Ask Glenn directly

Is consulting available as a one-off?

Yes. Many engagements are a single focused review with a written report. Others become ongoing advisory support.

Will you recommend yourselves for the work?

Only when we are genuinely the right fit. The value of advice depends on it being independent, and we will say so if another supplier or product suits you better.

Can you advise on AI projects?

Yes. We help identify realistic use cases, assess data readiness and plan a pilot. See AI development.
